1
And
having looked intently
at the Council,
Paul
said, Men, brothers, I
have lived as a citizen
in all
good
conscience
to God
unto
this
day.
2
Then
the
high priest
Ananias
commanded
those
standing by
him
to strike
his mouth.
3
Then
Paul
said to him, God
is about
to strike
you,
whitewashed
wall!
And you,
do you sit
judging
me
according to
the Law, and, violating law,
command
me to be struck?
4
Now those who
stood by
said,
Do you insult the
high priest
of God?
5
And
Paul
was saying,
I was not aware,
brothers,
that he is
high priest;
for
it has been written
: You shall not speak
evil
of the
ruler of your people.
6
Then Paul,
having known
that the
one
part
consists
of Sadducees, but the
other
of Pharisees,
began crying out
in the Council, Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee,
the
son
of a Pharisee;
I
am judged
concerning
the
hope
and
resurrection
of
the
dead.
7
And of him
saying
this,
a dissension
arose
between the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees,
and
the
crowd
was divided.
8
For indeed
Sadducees
say
there to be
no
resurrection,
no
r
angel,
no
r
spirit;
but
Pharisees
confess
both.
9
Then
a great
clam
or
arose,
and
some
of the
scribes
of the
party
of the Pharisees,
hav
in
g risen up,
were contend
in
g
say
in
g,
We f
in
d noth
in
g
evil
in
this
man.
And
what if
a spirit
or
an angel
has spoken to him?
10
And
great
dissension
arising,
the
commander,
having feared
lest
Paul
should be torn to pieces
by
the
m,
commanded
the
troop,
having gone down,
to take him by force
from
the
ir midst and
to bring
him
into
the
barracks.
11
But
the
following
night
the
Lord,
having stood by
him, said, Take courage, for as
you have fully testified
about Me at Jerusalem,
so
also
it behooves you
to testify
in Rome.
12
Then when it was
day,
the
Jews
having made
a conspiracy,
put themselves under an oath
,
declaring
neither
to eat
nor
to drink
until
they should kill
Paul.
13
Now there were more than forty
having made
this
conspiracy,
14
who,
having come
to the
chief priests
and the
elders,
said, We have bound
ourselves
with an oath
to eat
nothing
until
we should kill
Paul.
15
Now
the
refore
you with
the
Council
make a report
to
the
commander,
so that
he might bring him down
to you,
as
being about
to examine
more earnestly
the
things about him. And we are
ready
to kill
him
before
his drawing near.
16
But
the
son
of Pauls sister,
having heard of
the ambush,
having come near
and
having entered
into the barracks,
reported
it
to Paul.
17
Then Paul,
having summoned
one
of the centurions,
was saying,
Take
this
young man
to the commander, for
he has
something
to report
to him.
18
So
indeed
the
one
having taken
him
brought
him
to
the
commander, and
he says,
Paul
the
prisoner,
having called to me,
asked
me
to lead
this
young man
to you, having
something
to say
to you.
19
Then
the
commander,
hav
in
g taken hold
of his
hand
and
hav
in
g withdrawn
in
private,
began to
in
quire,
What is it that
you have
to report
to me?
20
And he said, The
Jews
have agreed
to
as
k
you that
you might bring down
Paul
into the
Council
tomorrow,
as
being
about
to inquire
something
more earnestly
about
him.
21
You
therefore
should not
be persuaded
by them. For more than forty of their men
lie in wait
for him,
who
have put themselves under an oath
neither
to eat nor
to drink
until
they have killed
him; and
now
they are
ready,
awaiting
the
promise
from you.
22
So
indeed
the
commander
dismissed
the
young man,
having instructed
him
,
Tell
no one
that
you have reported
these things
to me.
23
And
having summoned
certain
two of the centurions, he said, Prepare for
the third
hour
of the
night
two hundred
soldiers
and
seventy
horsemen
and
two hundred
spearmen, so that
they might go
as far as Caesarea,
24
and
provide
mounts,
so that
having set
Paul
upon them
,
they might bring
him
safely
to
Felix
the governor,
25
having
written
a letter
having
this
form:
26
Claudius
Lysias,
To the
most excellent,
governor
Felix:
Greetings.
27
This
man
having been seized
by the
Jews
and
being about
to be killed
by them,
having come up
with the troop,
I rescued
him
,
having learned
that he is
a Ro
man
.
28
And
resolving
to know
the
charge
on account of
which
they were accusing
him,
I brought
him
down
to their council,
29
whom
I found
being accused
concerning
questions
of their
Law,
but
having no
accusation
w
or
thy
of death
or
of chains.
30
And
it having been disclosed
to
me
of a plot that
would be
against
the
man,
I sent
him
to
you
at once,
also
having instructed
the
accusers
to
speak
these things
against
him
before
you.
31
Therefore
indeed
the
soldiers,
according to
that
having been ordered them,
having taken
Paul,
brought
him
to
Antipatris
by night.
32
And on the
next day,
having allowed
the horsemen
to
go
with him,
they returned
to
the barracks,
33
who
having entered
into
Caesarea
and
having delivered
the
letter
to the
governor,
also
presented
Paul
to him.
34
And
having read
it
and
having asked
what
province
he is from, and
having learned
that
he is
from Cilicia,
35
he was saying
I will hear you fully
when
your
accusers
may have arrived
also,
having commanded
him
to be guarded
in the
Praetorium
of Herod.
